Curious… as to the differences between the “Air Cooled Models” and the water cooled…

Aside from the obvious addition of a water cooler… Coolmate 1.3…??

There has been some talk about a new connector system.. that will allow Qwik Torch changes…??

Maybe something like the “Euro Connector” for MIG guns??

Please expect lead times for these products and purchase orders will be
processed in the order of which they are received. Contact your Miller Sales

also be introducing complete water-cooled packages which include the
Coolmate 1.3 and the Weldcraft® WP-280 torch. Please watch for future
communications later in Q4 on the availability of machines with the Cooler
Power feature and complete water-cooled packages.Any questions, contact Andrew Pfaller at 920-954-3616 or andrew.pfaller@millerwelds.com.

Hopefully this welds smaw pipe better than the cst280 does. I previously owned a dynasty 200dx. Best tig welder available next to a bigger dynasty. I have been holding of buying another 200dx for the 280. However since using the cst280 on some 3inch natural gas line I am rethinking. Hopefully find one to try out before I plunk the coin down.
